Climate change threatens temperate fruit production, but adaptation and mitigation strategies can safeguard yields and quality.
Climate change is causing significant shifts in the Earth's climate, mainly due to human activities. This is leading to higher temperatures, changes in precipitation, and increased greenhouse gas concentrations. In temperate regions, like the Himalayas, fruit production is being negatively impacted by these changes. The altered climate conditions are affecting crop growth, leading to lower yields and quality. Scientists are facing a major challenge in finding ways to adapt fruit production to these changing conditions.
